Preferred term

eastward_friction_velocity_in_air  

Definition

  • A velocity is a vector quantity. "Eastward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed eastward (negative westward). Friction velocity is a reference wind velocity derived from the relationship between air density and downward stress and is usually applied at a level close to the surface where stress is assumed to independent of height and approximately proportional to the square of mean velocity.

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
